Pilar is a certified Baptiste Power Yoga Instructor, a FIT To Lead graduate with the Baptiste Institute and holds a B.A. in Public Relations and Advertising from The University of Delaware. Pilar initially found the practice of yoga as a therapeutic tool in the recovery from running injuries. She has since been practicing Baptiste Power Yoga for over 22 years and teaching for 20 years. Beyond healing her athletic injuries, she realized that through a strong physical (Asana) practice, consistent meditation and self-inquiry, how much more one can restore back to wholeness: mentally, physically, & emotionally. Through this practice, Pilar has discovered an inner- knowing and confidence to trust and take action for what she wants to have happen in her practice and in her life!
Discovering this path through experience, her greatest passion now is to share this gift and methodology as a leader, and to be of service in empowering others. Her classes invite all levels of students from beginner to advanced.
The yoga classes I teach are empowering, inspiring and spiritual.
I practice Baptiste yoga because this practice gives me the confidence and power to find the freedom already within me. It helps me purify my soul and honor myself. Through a strong yoga practice, meditation, and personal experience- I have realized that the power to do what is right for each one of us, comes from within, from our own intuition. The only judgments and limits are the ones we place on ourselves.
I teach Baptiste yoga because of Baron Baptiste’s unique and creative approach to yoga. I teach this style of yoga to inspire, encourage, and help others get in touch with who they really are. This style is not rigid, but intuitive. I encourage my students to find the balance, strength, and clarity within.
I am committed to
Guiding students to find inspiration and motivation. I invite my students to take a journey every time they come to the mat! As a mother of both a teenage daughter and son, I encourage both my household and classroom, to maintain positive outlooks and healthy lifestyles.
Hometown
I am a native of Colombia, South America.
